bb: think it’s at the point that you should either pick your favorite that you know you can kill it performing, or select your favorite 2-3 and create a poll. We’re getting totally out of hand with all the recommendations, lol. The FFA can be a heat seeking missile if it has a specific target but more like an uncontrolled cluster bomb without a target
Fair enough. Sorry, got busy at work and didn’t have the bandwidth to help guide the discussion. I like Lady by Styx, but there aren’t enough lyrics to have a sufficient number of zingers. Certain of the songs (Lady Marmalade, Dude Looks Like a Lady, etc. I cannot pull off the vocals). Re:
@Ramsay Hunt Experience point about using a non-Brady song title, we’ve certainly done it before, but I like using a Lady or Baby song to bookend it with the original. The song I feel most comfortable singing (and I think a good performance is key to the song’s success), has a good level of cheese factor, and has sufficient verses to serve as a canvas for the jokes is
Somebody’s Baby by Jackson Browne.
Now, the title doesn’t have to include “Somebody’s”. The tag line for “She’s got to be somebody’s baby” could be “I’m still so in love with Brady” or something else altogether. But I do think it has to be cast as a love song, but with all sorts of backhanded digs and embarrassing references.
Here are the original lyrics:
Well, just look at that girl with the lights coming up in her eyes =
Well, just look at that guy with the pads coming out of his thighs
She's got to be somebody's baby =
Could this be love it's a maybe
She must be somebody's baby =
We all lust after Tom Brady
All the guys on the corner stand back and let her walk on by
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's baby, she's so fine
She's probably somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, alright
I heard her talking with a friend
When she thought nobody else was around
She said she's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
'Cause when the cars and the signs
And the streetlights light up the town
She's got to be somebody's baby
She must be somebody's baby
She's got to be somebody's, she's so fine
She's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
I try to shut my eyes, but I can't get her out of my sight
I know I'm gonna know her, but I gotta get over my fright
Well, I'm just gonna walk up to her, I'm gonna talk to her tonight
Alright
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's only light
Gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
She's gonna be somebody's only light, gonna shine tonight
Yeah, she's gonna be somebody's baby tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, ah-ah
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight, yeah
Gonna shine tonight, make her mine tonight
